Tour Head Covers

[CaseyD]

What's up with the two tour style head covers?  Is there a reason they don't use the same style that come with the clubs?  Kinda gives a Kermit the frog appearance.  No real reason I'm asking other than curiosity. Thanks.

Two words -

Paid
Sponsorship

Yea I get that with guys that maybe hitting a different brand driver than their club sponsor but even guys sponsored by callaway or titliest hitting callaway or titleist woods have these cheap looking covers.

If your'e referring to the "leather sock"-looking head covers, my guess is that they're easier to take off/put on that the form-fitting ones.  The head cover that came with my driver is a pain in the arse so I take it off at hole 1 and put it back on at hole 18.

Like this one?

The new style headcovers that look like oven mitts are butt ugly...JMHO.

Negative not like that one. Like the ones Krupa is talking about.  I'm thinking he's right about the ease of removal and replacement. 

So the callaway one is the style most of us get with our off thenrack drivers. 

 

The titliest headcovers are the style that I'm seeing on your a lot.  They do look much easier to take off and put on.

Looks like they're calling them "vintage":

You can get open-stock vinyl vintage headcovers for about $15, leather ones by the OEMs for about $25, and custom leather HCs for $50 +.

One such custom company is Stitch.
